p>President Barack Obama urged supporters of same-sex marriage Friday to “help” people to overcome their religious convictions, so they are no longer held back from a progressive American view of equality.
“I know that Americans of goodwill continue to hold a wide range of views on this issue,” he said in a speech following the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling to Constitutionally recognize same-sex marriage. He initially espoused respect for those who disagree with the ruling.
“Opposition in some cases has been based on sincere and deeply held beliefs,” he said. “All of us who welcome today’s news should be mindful of that fact. Recognize different viewpoints. Revere our deep commitment to religious freedom.”
“But today should also give us hope that on the many issues with which we grapple often painfully real change is possible,” he continued, abruptly switching gears, clearly implying that those who disagree must come around to the more righteous, more American, and more equal view of marriage.
“Shifts in hearts and minds is possible,” he said. “And those who have come so far on their journey to equality have a responsibility to reach back and help others join them. Because for all our differences, we are one people — stronger together than we could ever be alone.”
“That’s always been our story. We are big and vast, and diverse. A nation of people with different backgrounds and beliefs, with different experiences and stories, but bound by our shared ideal that no matter who you are, or what you look like, how you started off, or how and who you love — America’s a place where you can write your own destiny.”
They had nobama singing "Amazing Grace" at the eulogy in Charleston. I thought, what an abomination, a Muslim singing that hymn. The "wretch like me" part is certainly correct.
Then I got to thinking... how can a Muslim be in favor of queer marriage? Homosexuality is illegal under Sharia law. ISIS was tossing more queers off tall buildings today.
This man is a total farce.
Fortunately, I suspect a lot if not most of the supporters will make it exceedingly easy to tell them “No. Now go away.”
Tonight the white house is lit up in rainbow colors. I swear to God.
“...President Barack Obama urged supporters of same-sex marriage Friday to “help” people to overcome their religious convictions, so they are no longer held back from a progressive American view of equality.”
Ok, Obama, time for you to give this SAME LINE to ISIS!!!
Tell them how they should give up THEIR RELIGOUS CONVICTIONS to promote homos. Let us see how well that works for your gay politics....(Okay, Ayoob, get out that water cage again....)
The face of raw evil.
His cynicism is incredible. Just a few years ago he was pretending to have the traditional Christian view of marriage. Now he’s lecturing us from the perspective of the pro-gay vanguard. Talk about banking on short memories.
He’s subtly sending the message that IF Christians do NOT violate hteir religious convictions that they will be seen as bigoted homophobes that the government will have no choice but to prosecute
Of course he LIES!
He is a LIEberal!
Actually that is an excellent question. For a couple of reasons.
“Just who the hell does this guy think he is?”
....god
But he is actually some sodomite’s b*tch.
Wow
His task in his current gig isn't to convert us to Islam, it's to weaken us so when the time is right, we can be taken by force... and then converted or killed.
Hastening our moral decline is just one of the many ways he's weakening us.
Not one Protestant on Supreme Court
Next stop, the recognition of the rights of child love, pedophilia.
I’m not saying he’s the anti-Christ or the one who paves the way for the anti-Christ, but he sure as hell does a great impersonation of him.
You’re not joking.

This is like Belzshazzar drinking from the items from God’s Temple in Babylon.
I am very concerned about the future of this nation.
Looks like he's trying real hard to be top candidate for the AC. Otherwise, why is he campaigning so hard?
Any comments from the Pope? Maybe he is too busy with global warming to speak up for the faith?
Any other source, such as whitehouse.gov, for this?
